The plane left the gate just one minute late, at 8:01 a.m., and ordinarily would have taken off about 15 minutes after pulling away from the gate. However, take-off was delayed because of the airport’s typically heavy morning traffic. When Flight 93 left the ground at 8:42, the flight was running more than 25 minutes late. The other hijacked planes had taken off from Boston’s Logan International Airport and from Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C. within 10-15 minutes of their planned departure times, lifting off at 7:59 (Flight 11), 8:14 (Flight 175), and 8:20 a.m. (Flight 77)
